EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the aftermath of the devastating fire that engulfed the Palace of Westminster on the night of 16 October 1834. The Houses of Parliament, a symbol of British political power and history, lay in ruins as flames consumed the medieval and Tudor structures that once housed the seat of the government. The image, created by Eric de Mare for Historic England, offers a unique perspective of the destruction from the River Thames. The dark waters reflect the fiery scene, with the silhouettes of onlookers gathered on the foreshore adding a sense of awe and tragedy. The towering presence of a ship in the foreground, with its sails fully hoisted, serves as a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding on the shore. The Palace of Westminster, with its rich history dating back to the medieval period, had undergone numerous renovations and expansions over the centuries. However, the fire of 1834 marked a turning point, leading to the rebuilding of the Palace in the Gothic Revival style, which stands today as a testament to the resilience of the British people and their government. This print, with its intricate details and atmospheric composition, offers a glimpse into the past and the significant moment in British history when the Palace of Westminster was reborn from the ashes.
